[Bloomberg Analyst: CFTC Issues Notice to Clear the Way for Spot Bitcoin ETF Options to Be Listed] Golden Finance reported that Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, posted on the X platform that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a notice to clear the way for the listing of spot Bitcoin ETF options, and related products are expected to be listed soon. According to the notice information of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission forwarded by Eric Balchunas, the agency's clearing and risk department stated in an employee consultation notice that spot Bitcoin ETF options are for ETF stocks registered as securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These stocks are listed and traded on national securities exchanges registered with the SEC, and are cleared and settled by the Options Clearing Corporation as the sole issuer of all stock options. In view of relevant court precedents, these spot commodity ETF stocks are likely to be regarded as securities, so the listing of these stocks on national securities exchanges registered with the SEC does not involve the jurisdiction of the CFTC, and the clearing will be carried out in its capacity as a registered clearing agency supervised by the SEC.
